@ Contango : Don't blame you. Not much of a bar person either as my complaint is the noise,tends to ruin the great conversation " truth serum " ( alcohol) often leads to.

Wish,you hadn't brought up " The Note " as mentioned in my prior comment. I really like to dance,so with a degree of frequency,I went to " The Note " ( agree with you " beer,bands,buddies and babes " are good things.)

The problem was/is thinking of my John Travolta like white dance costume. (that I can still fit in) The memory of that brings both laughter as well as shame for looking so stupid. :)

P.S. When did 3.2 beer leave us ? Been asking and no one,has a real good geuss.

@ CC:

3.2? My guess would be around the time that the state legal drinking age was raised to 21.

My Question is this: why has it taken the Schaffers 2 and a half years to decide to tear the building down? Was there ever any question that this would be the final outcome?

Not a giant loss unless you're an ex local football hero trying to relive glory days, while growling at anyone that dare enter 'your' establishment. A better question will be, what's taking Cameo so long to find another building and re-open?

I am thinking that Cameo decided that there was too much competition in Norwalk. There are really too many pizza places in Norwalk already

@ whopper2011:

IMO, Cameo's is "unique." It has a buttery taste that I've never experienced anywhere else.

Pretty much gave up on any of the locals that serve the usual "ketchup on a cracker." Been makin' grilled pizza. YUM!

the only difference I ever noticed was the way that Cameo cut their pizzas. I agree about the "Ketchup on a cracker" style of pizza-which is why I don't go to Little Caesar's(which actually tastes more like ketchup on cardboard), Pizza Cravin', Pizza Hut, or Pizza Brothers(although their foldovers are great). I recently tried Domino's new Pan pizza and it was pretty good(and very buttery).

@ whopper2011: I believe after hearing " the word on the street " from former Cameo employee's. That you are correct: " too much competition in Norwalk" for them

The Note was fun I like to dance
Must be the gypsy in my soles
The dances at the fairgrounds
Club 224 and the place in Wellington, don't remember the name
You young ones prolly don't remember.

@ Kottage Kat : I'll bet you liked " Bump City " then,since you remember them. My favorite thing about them was the lead singer also played the sax---very well. Talk about getting the dancers,dancing.....

For Pete's sake, lighten up, woman. Put on some knickers and take down your bun and have some fun once in a while. The man upstairs frowns on dancing?? I doubt it.
I, for one, will miss the Rock and the people that came with it. What is wrong with you 55-60 year olds who still talk about the Note and Corners? Quit living on your old memories and go make some new ones. Cliff, let your hair down, too and go try some of the new places. You oldsters and your 'set in your ways' attutudes need some adjusting...just sayin'.

@ David Deerest : Quick question. Doesn't tearing down a local landmark,invite memories ? Personally, once the chat started towards, " Corners " & " The Note " I also enjoyed that.

Truthfully,my favorite part was admitting I still have my John Travolta like white jump suit. Which, I have wore on occcassion for my children to laugh at their dad looking like a fool in.

Which,is just one way of totally agreeing with you on " CliFF,let your hair down,too and go try some new places." I do let my hair down, I find as many things to laugh about as possible and still very much love to dance. Then add being blessed to marry a wonderful dancer,we dance as often as possible.

In conclusion D.D. I believe your point is to keep the child alive in you,so that every day is new,fun,exciting as well as it add's to your memory lane matieral. And I 1000 % agree with you.

Too bad,we can't have just one more " 2 for Tuesday " at the " Rock " because you sound fun and I would've liked to bought you a round.
